"This servant doesn't know what the secondary concubine means, but since the prince sent the secondary concubine out for breakfast, it means that the brocade matters too much. This servant will take his leave now." Su Jin Xiu had wanted to enter and investigate, but when she heard that Duan Mu Yan was going straight to the point, she couldn't help but panic.

Seeing that Su Jin was about to leave, Duan Mu Yan's cherry lips curled up.

"He left just like that? Don't you want to know what the Prince has told me? " Her long eyelashes slightly raised, Duan Mu Yan turned to look at Su Jin Xiu, her face expressionless.

"That's a side issue, it has nothing to do with me!" Su Jin Xiu's heart tensed up even more. After Duan Mu Yan entered the Xiao manor, she seemed to have changed into another person. The light in her eyes alone made Su Jin Xiu feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I have already proposed to the prince that he should take you as his wife, or perhaps he should take you as his concubine!" With that, Su Jin Xiu suddenly turned around with astonishment in her eyes.

"Duan Mu Yan!" What do you want? " Su Jin replied in a cold voice. When she met Duan Mu Yan's beautiful eyes, she was secretly shocked in her heart. This gaze was completely different from before.

"I thought you would thank me. Isn't that what you expected? When you were dealing with me, you thought that I would obstruct your path of being the mistress of the Xiao manor, but now it's different. I support you, but don't you want to be the main wife? You don't dare to say it, I'll say it for you! "However …" Duan Mu Yan slowly rose up and walked two steps to Su Jin Xiu.

"But what?" Su Jin Xiu was on alert as she looked suspiciously at Duan Mu Yan.

"It's just that Prince doesn't like you. He only views you in a new light due to Chu Shirou. But, this' special respect 'is still very far from being able to marry you as his concubine." "You know that …" Duan Mu Yan's lips curved up slightly as he sized up Su Jin Xiu.

"The side concubine is too serious. This servant has never had any ill intentions towards the prince, so this servant will take her leave now!" Duan Moyan's gaze was too sharp. Su Jinxiu choked on her throat as she cast her gaze downwards before she circled around Duan Moyan and headed for the door.

"As long as I am willing, you will become the main wife of the Xiao Palace! I can help you on one condition! " Duan Mu Yan turned around and solemnly spoke, her eyes shining with resplendent light.

Speechless, when Su Jin Xiu walked to the door, she paused for a moment before finally opening it and leaving. As she watched Su Jin's departing figure, the light in Duan Mu Yan's eyes became increasingly dark. Right at this moment, a voice of doubt suddenly sounded from behind Duan Mu Yan.

"Mu Yan, why?" Duan Mu Yan's voice trembled when she heard it. She turned around, and that white robe of hers, which was as white as snow, was impressively standing in front of her.

"Yu Xuan?" Why are you here? " A trace of pleasant surprise flashed through her clear eyes as she spoke in a gentle voice. The resolute gaze she shot out earlier was filled with gentleness.

"I guess Brother Wang has decided to ascend to the morning assembly during this period, so I came to find you. Mu Yan, I really don't understand, why did you make Su Jin Xiu your principal wife? Also, if you want her to agree to one of your conditions, what is it? " Xiao Yuxuan nervously looked at the girl in front of him. For a moment, he felt that he could no longer enter her heart.

"Is it important? "Since Su Jinxiu likes it, I'll help her. Otherwise, she won't stop. I'm just protecting myself." Duan Mu Yan bitterly said.

"Mu Yan... Are you really that willing? " Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows knitted together as he looked puzzledly at Duan Mu Yan.

"Others might suspect you, but you shouldn't ask that. You know that you are the only one in my heart, so what does it have to do with me whether Xiao Jin Feng marries anyone or not? Perhaps, only by fulfilling their wishes will I be able to live a peaceful life. Otherwise, do you think Su Jin Mei will accept her fate? I'm tired and I don't want to get caught up in this senseless feud. " Duan Mu Yan's voice was slightly cold as she mocked herself.

"Mu Yan... "We …" Her handsome face revealed traces of heartache. Even though she knew the result, she still couldn't help but speak up. However, just as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Duan Mu Yan.

"I will leave this place, but not now. Yu Xuan, I just want to know, did royal brother commit suicide?" What happened to me while I was in prison? " Duan Muyan solemnly stated, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

"This …" Xiao Yuxuan hesitated. He wasn't sure if he should tell his the truth. He wasn't sure how Duan Moyan would react after knowing the truth.

"Yuxuan, in this world, you are the only person I can trust and never defend against. I only hope that you can tell me the truth. You and I both know that our royal brother didn't kill Tian Gou Ren, so how could he back down?" Duan Mu Yan's curled eyelashes sparkled as she stared at Xiao Yuxuan. These days, she had been thinking that her imperial brother couldn't possibly have committed suicide. She urgently needed to know the truth!

"Mu Yan... "Actually, Jing Yang is already dead. The spirit in heaven only wants to …" Xiao Yuxuan did not want to lie to Duan Mu Yan, and even more so, did not want to speak the truth.

"You can leave now, I don't want to make things difficult for you. I believe the prime minister and the general should also know the truth …" Duan Mu Yan's voice was slightly cold. When she suddenly stood up and was about to leave, Xiao Yu Xuan wasn't able to hold on in the end.

"Mu Yan! Actually... "I'm not sure if Jing Yang committed suicide or not …" Xiao Yuxuan hesitated as he spoke with a sorrowful expression. Duan Moyan turned his head and quickly walked back to Xiao Yuxuan's side.

"Royal brother won't commit suicide. He didn't kill Tian Kou Ren, so there's no reason for him to commit suicide!" Glimmers danced in Duan Muyan's eyes as tears welled in her eyes. Her heart throbbed in pain.

"It is true that Jingyang did not kill Tian Juren, but …" But when you went to jail … " Xiao Yuxuan knew that even if he didn't say anything, Duan Mu Yan would still find out the truth from Zhu Xu and Dou Jing.

"When I went to prison? What happened to my time in prison? "Could it be …" With Xiao Yuxuan's support, he was able to avoid falling to the ground.

"Jade Xuan …" You mean... In order for Duan Xingyi to become the crown prince, royal father used my life to force royal brother to admit his mistake, didn't he? " An excruciating pain similar to that of death assaulted Duan Moyan's heart. The piercing pain filled every nerve in her body, and at this moment, Duan Moyan could no longer hold back her tears, letting them flow out, wetting his clothes and chilling her heart.

"Mu Yan... Moreover, I believe that the emperor did not intend to force Jing Yang into a corner. There is another point that makes people suspicious, and that is that Eunuch Li found a needle in Ting Lei Pavilion that was exactly the same as the one used to assassinate Tian Juren. This is also what I suspect! " Xiao Yuxuan's heart ached as she looked at Duan Moyan. At this moment, he truly did not know what words he could say to make Duan Moyan feel better.

"Jade Xuan …" "I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while. You can leave first …" Duan Mu Yan suppressed the pain in her heart and ignored the tears that welled up in her eyes as she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"But …" Xiao Yuxuan looked at Duan Mu Yan with hesitation. He did not want to leave, at least at a time when Duan Mu Yan needed comfort the most.

"I'm fine. Just like you said, your royal brother's soul in heaven definitely doesn't want to see me torture myself. I will be strong. In reality, I have been strong for many years …" Duan Mu Yan gritted her teeth as she slowly withdrew from Xiao Yu Xuan's embrace. Her glowing eyes were filled with determination as she looked at the man before her. At this moment, her heart was frozen.

"That's fine too. Mu Yan, take care. I'll come and see you again …" Even though Xiao Yuxuan was reluctant to part, this was still the Xiao family's residence after all. If he stayed long enough, people would inevitably find that he was being criticized, so he didn't want to cause trouble for Duan Mu Yan anymore. The only thing he could do was silently stand behind her and walk through fire and water when she needed it.

Watching Xiao Yuxuan's figure slowly fade out of his line of sight, Duan Moyan sat on the ground in a dejected manner. The entire world felt like it was about to be annihilated as tears flowed down his face. Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife again and again … .Duan Chen, oh Duan Chen, how am I going to settle this debt with you? It was you who gave me my life, but it was also you who repeatedly pushed me into the abyss of hell, forcing to death the people I cared about the most in this world! You gouged my heart time and time again! What can I do to you? What can I do to you to make my heart at peace and at peace?! Duan Xingyi, Mo Jiangshan! Is that what you care about the most? Well then, my father, my enemy, I will hold you responsible for your sins!

Duan Mu Yan quietly sat there, letting her tears obscure her vision. She couldn't bear to see the clarity of this world, and the darkness and whiteness in her heart also gradually faded away.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, when Duan Mu Yan opened her eyes again, Xiao Jin Feng was sitting beside her, his handsome face revealing worry that could not be concealed. However, in Duan Mu Yan's eyes, all of this was so fake that it made her want to vomit.

"Mu Yan? You're awake! "Feng Xue, quickly bring the soup over …" When she saw Duan Mu Yan's curled eyelashes slowly open up, Xiao Jin Feng secretly exhaled a long breath of breath before instructing Feng Xue'er.

Not refusing it, Duan Mu Yan supported himself up with his arms behind his back and leaned against the bed rail. His gentle gaze watched Xiao Jin Feng use a silver spoon to deliver the soup, and his chapped lips slightly parted, allowing Xiao Jin Feng to feed his mouthful after mouthful. He couldn't help but sneer in her heart. If he continued to persevere, perhaps he would feel a little bit different in Duan Mu Yan's heart. But now, in the eyes of Duan Mu Yan, Xiao Jin Feng and Duan Chen were basically the same type of people; their mouths were filled with a sonorous and forceful reverence for his loyalty and persistence.

"Mu Yan, the emperor sent a doctor to treat you just now, and coincidentally saw you unconscious on the ground. These servants deserve to die, but none of them discovered anything. Later, this king will ask them for their crimes one by one!" Xiao Lingfeng slowly placed the medicine into Duan Mu Yan's mouth, his sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together as he lightly rebuked.

"Father sent Imperial Physician Zheng to see me? "Why?" He lowered his gaze, not even sparing Xiao Lingfeng a glance as he continued to drink by himself.

"Your majesty is worried about your health. Mu Yan, how about I let Feng Xue bring you in for dinner …" Don't come to the main hall. " When Xiao Jin Feng saw that Duan Mu Yan had finished drinking the soup, he naturally extended her hand to receive the bowl of soup. Just as she was about to pass it to Feng Xue, she was stopped by Duan Mu Yan.

"Wait a moment, this bowl is very special …" Sensing her shock, Xiao Lingfeng turned his gaze towards Feng Xue and signaled for her to retreat. The only ones left in the room were Duan Mu Yan and Xiao Jin Feng.

"I got Housekeeper Zhou to prepare this bowl for you. It's the same type of master as Shi Rou's, so it's kind of similar …." Xiao Jin Feng spoke awkwardly, as his gaze became increasingly unfathomable as he stared at Duan Mu Yan.

"Your highness is so generous, it really makes Mu Yan blush. Perhaps those ordinary porcelain bowls are more suitable for Mu Yan. Your highness really doesn't need to put in so much effort for Mu Yan …" The light in her eyes dimmed, but Xiao Jin Feng's deliberate actions caused her to recall once again the tragic death of Qiu Yue, causing her hatred to grow even stronger.
